Five Months

Five months after the earthquake, this article says the world has forgotten Haiti.

What is there to say about Haiti? We're frustrated with how bad the conditions still are. And yet, life goes on. In the camps people try to forget by watching the World Cup. And some remember Joe Gaetjens, the Haitian who actually scored that goal we've been hearing so much about today, the one 60 years ago that allowed the US to beat England. (Altidore, also of Haitian descent, almost scored today - wouldn't that have been great?)

Yes, the news and world is fickle, but I would not say that Haiti is forgotten; perhaps in media but not by individuals.
